Prize Money: $2,925

ZAMBADA ICON (3) turned in a solid run last start over 425m at Bendigo finishing 4th and beaten only 4 lengths (24.14). The form out of last race has been strong. Can discover winning form. BIG BOY COOPER (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fourth (29.98) last time in a Grade 5 at Sandown. Solid record at the distance winning seven races. A big run wouldn't surprise. TAT LEAH (2) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh (22.96) in a Mix 3/4 at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Cannot be left out. MATT LOCH (5) has strong credentials over this journey.

Was out of placings last time (22.96) at this track in a Mix 3/4, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and two places from 10 starts. Looks a leading chance.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (22.47) over 390m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Others preferred.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Ballarat over 390m in 21.81 last start, beating Rhythmic Energy. Can go well again with the right run.
